are to have the right to lease, sell or convey

The tuberculosis.
The special investigating committee ap.
pointed to examine into the outbreak of
tuberculosis at the College farm have drawn
up their report, but refuse to make it public
until tomorrow. The main points, however,
have leaked out. The verdict of the COM
mittce is that the disease at the college farm
was tuberculosis, which corresponds exactly
with consumption in the human race. 1t is
contagious, hereditary. 1t can be communi-
Gated from man to animal and from animal
to man. The origin of the disease at the
college farm is unknown, but it is of long
| standing. The immediate causes Of the out
break, which proved more disastrous than
any other on record, was brought about by
high feeding, and intermingling Of
| the diseased cattle with the others while
kept In close quarters with very little out
door exercise. The committee recommend
the hunting up and examining of the bulls
and their progeny at the States expense.
They also say that, while they do not wish
to take cognizance of the quarrels of individ-
uals, they do believe that the cattle commits
sloners were somewhat dilatory in
dealing with the disease, which can
be accounted for by the fact that
so many ex-oficio positions that his interest
in one place cOnflicted with his duties in an
other. This report is signed by four of the
committee, Representative |. G. Libby has
refused to sign it, as he does not indorse the
idea OF the State hunting up these bulls; and
| he repels the thrust made at Secretary Gil
| bert by the other members of the committee.
Mr.. Libby fully sustains the action which
MI. Gilbert took in regard to the Kent bull
Canabassett and Canada.

hour bill now before the legislature in a

} work only go hours year over time. The
say that this margin of overtime ought to i
increased to 100 houas at least, possib
more. The woolen mills often want to n,
extra hours to meet sudden orders. Such
press of work is likely to come for two
